This photograph of the West Wing was taken by photographer George F. Mobley in May 1962. The West Wing was constructed as "temporary executive office buildings" during Theodore Roosevelt's administration in 1902. In 1909, the West Wing was expanded and doubled in size during the Taft administration. The expansion saw the construction of the Oval Office. In 1930 during the Hoover administration, the West Wing had to be rebuilt due to a fire that broke out on Christmas Eve. The current incarnation of the West Wing was completed in 1934 during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The wing was expanded from 15,000 to 40,000 square feet and a "penthouse" story and an enlarged subterranean office area with a light well were added to the complex. The Oval Office was relocated to the West Wing’s southeast corner its present location.
